Please forgive me if there have already been 800 threads already about this footage, but I just found it and I am speechless!

The original cast and production of "Chicago" is one of those shows that I would build a time machine to go back and see. So, this footage is like a rift in the space/time continum allowing me to see nine minutes of this show.

And, having only seen the revival production, it's weird seeing COLOR in the costuming!

And I have a question, the costumes at the end where they're singing "Loopin' The Loop", are those the same costumes that they wore when the song got changed to "Nowadays"? I've only seen the clips of them doing it from the Howard Costell variety show and on the Mike Douglas and they're wearing those white outfits.
